Fruit-Inspired Vegan Baked Doughnuts Recipe

These fruit-inspired vegan baked doughnuts from Dominique Evans of The Vegan Fiesta are too cute not to share. She recreated a watermelon, pineapple, orange, apple, kiwi and strawberry. Get the recipe below and happy national doughnut day!

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients with a whisk to mix thoroughly. Combine the wet ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat and mix until the margarine is just melted. This mixture should be just slightly warm to the touch.

Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until just combined. It should form a very soft dough.

Using a tablespoon, scoop dough into an ungreased nonstick doughnut pan. Smooth out the top of each dough with your fingers―this will make for more even, prettier doughnuts but isn’t crucial.

Bake for 12 minutes. They should not be browned on top, but a toothpick will come out clean. Invert the hot pan over a cutting board or cooling rack to release the doughnuts. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

For glaze: Mix together in a bowl. If too thick add for milk.

For colored glaze: Use separate bowls for each color. Use only two drops of color to get the neon pastel look. Dip doughnut in and twist and gently pull out of icing.
